Photograph,
Remembering the summer
it takes me back,
to Southern California.

where the girls would all pass
on the boardwalk and laugh
at our desperate attempts
and our sunburned backs
we never had a chance,
I remember that
and no matter what we do,
we'll never lose what we had

growing up
Won't bring us down.
Yeah, growing up,
it won't bring us down,
Growing up won't bring us down
Growing up won't bring us down

Graduate,
What's a kid to do now?
Get away, (yeah-ah)
We've got so much to prove.

Cause it's time to move on
and I start to let go
but then [bad word] on the radio.
I flash back to the night
in your parent's yard,
where we drank too much
and we talked about God

Growing up,
won't bring us down.
Growing up,
it won't bring us down.

We're in this together,
Yeah, we'll make it somehow,
Nothing's gonna stop us now...
Growing up won't bring us down
Growing up won't bring us down
Growing up won't bring us down
Oh-oh-oh

Photograph,
Oh give me something to remember

Growing up,
won't bring us down.
Growing up,
it won't bring us down.

We're in this together,
Yeah, we'll make it somehow,
Nothing's gonna stop us now...
Growing up won't bring us down
Growing up won't bring us down
(won't bring us down)
Growing up won't bring us down
(won't bring us down)
Growing up won't bring us......down.
